Re: Client?
As far as the "final inspection" goes, your job is done. If your original client was still the buyer they have your report listing all of the defficiencies that you found, including the mold.

I have performed re-inspections in the past (mainly to ensure my client that something had been done), but I have a disclaimer on the re-inspection stating that since I wasn't present when the repairs were made, I accept no responsibility for the quality of the materials or the work performed. I am only verifying that something had been to to items #a, b, c, etc. If they want a guarantee or warranty on the repair that needs to come from the contractor that performed the repair. I also have them sign another agreement stating all of the above.

I notify my client when they call for the re-inspection that I am basically taking their money because I will accept none of the responsibility and that they can usually look for themselves to see if something was done. Surprisingly some still pay me to do it.

I will never re-inspect for mold, LBP, etc. Notifying them that mold is present and maybe getting a few samples is one thing, but abatement should be performed by a professional and that is who should place their stamp of approval on it.
